No language barrier here.IDAT was heard in smallish "board" room off studio, their speakers and rock music off monitors, between takes, so think what you want.Based on too much experience with Meyer sound systems at outdoor concerts, however, th...

[quote user="rowuk"]In live music, we have intermodulation. Two trumpets or a trumpet and oboe playing together create sum and difference tones that change depending on pitch interval for instance. For music in major keys, this intermodulation is add...

Ronnie,
It is very simple to test if the clapping echoes defuse your sound too much. I usually use a method that I call “sailboating”. In fact I use the “sails” permanently installed in my listening room and it is the way how I control certain thing...

Along with last remodeling that we performed in Opera Room the room is becoming more the most pleasant room in our house. In fact we spend now more time then in listening room. We eat there, we watch films there. Sometime we watch TV there. I sleep t...

Audio Sonar Acoustic Levelling (ASAL)
As an engineer, I’ve been intrigued by the various room treatment systems out there…most of which are sound (excuse the pun). My own 4-way front-loaded playback system is very dynamic…and suitable room...

It is well known that the requirements to acoustic environment for life music and for audio installations are very different. For life music we need much more what we would call in audio “live” acoustic setting, letting the instruments to breat...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]This is one of my favorite topics. [/quote]I completly share this sentiment.There is clearly nothing nearly as important as the listening room itself and having the possibility of building a listening room from scratch is ...

Consigned to the root cellar? In such a small space, "cranking it up" is a relative term, but I think this could be more interesting than headphones. Anyway, there's no substitute for trial and error. I would say, basically, use a good front end a...

Nope, it is not my listening room but I it is a very nice looking listening room, I hope to post it here. The room has very nice dealing with first reflections, ceiling and many other aspects. I wish the right speaker were further from the wall. ...

Absolutely flat response will usually sound as you've described it; listen to your ears. If you are hearing the opening bass line of "So What" via the sub, you must be running the sub pretty high in frequency to compensate for lack of mid-bass. From ...

I wonder, do cathedral ceilings has any acoustic focusing effects? Theoretically the vertical reflections shall bubble themselves up but in practically I have no knowledge how the Cathedral Rooms behave. Did anybody try to analyze how Cathedral C...

The more I play with me room the more I fell in love with it. As I mentioned before there are so many truly perfect features in the room that I very frequently note that if I build the listening room from scratch according to my own design then very...

Romy, francley the biggest reason that I'm very happy you moved to your new place is, you have a very big listening room-like mine-so speaker placment and search for DPoLS wuold be more helpful to me. I hope so!Anyhow congradulation for new place.Arm...

I had today a long listening session. I listened a whole Mahler Second and I can tell you that I was the best upperbass I ever heard from a playback. I am not kidding. The upperbass literally despaired in the new room but what it is being called up...

I do not know how you feel if you have large glass surface in your listening rooms but in my room if I have any exposed balls then I instantly feel that something is terribly wrong with sound. It is kind of ironic as when I was buying this house ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This mooring a brilliant idea hit me. Instead of the pale and un-spicy while foam the boars me I will use a completely different idea. I so got hooked on it that I ordered the parts already. A few post above I made a post ...

I did not feel it before but now I do. I do want to have a fireplace in my listening room. Not any fireplace and not the usual fireplaces that are typical in the US cardboard houses. I would like to have a large fireplace in my listening room, let sa...

I am pretty happy with how high temperature handling is happening in my room. Not perfect but still pretty good. As Summer eventually came to New England and my room hit 85 some thoughts become to hatch and pop up in my head. I would like to share s...

As I told you that side effect of my Video Room project turned out that I changed my mindset from hating that room and considering it as a worthless in the house to the sadden admiration of the room. No I do not watch videos in there but I just turn...

[quote user="Paul S"] The new room is smaller than the old one; in fact it's the smallest room I've used with the DEBZs, and I wondered if this might help the ML2s, if not overall sound quality. I measure the new room at 20' 6" X 17' 2" X 8' = ...

I have heard hundreds and hundreds of audio systems and mine is by far the best. Honestly nothing even comes close. There is a scientific reason for this. MY system starts with a PERFECTLY tuned room...something overlooked by ma...

Movingcoilguy,
sorry I know nothing about the Wharfedale drivers, speakers, nether about the Goodman cabinets. Mau-designed boxes are also very much not my area of expertise. In fact, if you read me than you know that I have a strong attitude again...

In my bathroom there is two type of literature: toilet reading and bath reading. The toilet reading is mostly audio publications about equipment. While I am on toilet then good 4 pagers review about some kind of flagman speaker or amplifies take me...

Perhaps you could pull off something like this. Of course, it depends in which way you were not comfortable with the 30 ft. ceilings. The added tunability of the room would be a good ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I'm not entirely satisfied that this single 40Hz horn was properly loading the room, which has a cubic volume not far from what I would consider ideal for such a system …. However, the horn was sitting in the center o...

[quote user="Paul S"]One rarely sees this sort of construction in US, and even less as you travel West.
It looks like a sort of "Pressure Cooker" for certain frequencies, likely requiring some sort of "damping" and other shaping measures in or...

But who says an A2-capable amp should actually be driven into A2 in use? I thought you planned to operate the amp well within its limits, to get the DHT benefits without subjecting the amp to the sorts of stress that always spoils these little thing...

Well, I need to admit that with arriving Thomas and to a
degree with adopting Amy my relationship with my listening room have changed.
It is not the relationship change but the volume that listening room occupies in
my daily practice. I very much ...
